Vacuum Thermoforming

Vacuum thermoforming is a manufacturing process that shapes plastic sheets into specific forms. It involves heating a plastic sheet until it becomes soft and pliable, then positioning it over a mold. A vacuum is created beneath the sheet, pulling it tightly against the mold’s surface. As it cools and hardens, it retains the shape of the mold, producing precise parts. This technique is used in packaging, automotive parts, and displays, offering an efficient way to produce detailed, custom-made plastic components with minimal waste and tooling costs.
